Finally, Mom's House is Done! 媽媽的家終於完工了

After two weeks of working after work, Mom's house is finally fully painted. She's happy with the new wood floor and the new colours. Painting is actually quite fun, but tiring, especially having to do all that after a full day of work at the office. The carpenter left a bunch of work behind saying it's painter's job. So, we get to clean up the moldings, baseboards, floor trims and even the door frame. The new door frame was not even finished like a dry wall. Q and Dave had to prime it and sand it before it could be painted. All the floor trims are not painted with the wood finish. The bare oak wood absorbs the dirt and shows black marks. I couldn't sand off all the black marks and had to apply the finish paint on it with the marks. Being a perfectionist, I pay too much attention to details and that's probably why I'm always stressed out!

Anyways, Mom gets to move into her new home this Saturday with all her new furniture! My heart is at peace knowing she will have a safe, comfortable, spacious and cozy home to live in. And, we can visit her and Yuan more often now. It's going to be a beautiful happy christmas!

Den- we put together the computer desk, set up Mom's iMac and bought a new chair. It's a great office space for her to study.
